"If one of your ribs is really broken we need a doctor fast. We have the time machine now so -

"Wait - you actually made a time machine! A real one? Can I see it!?"

"Don't sit up - do not sit up But yes, I made a time machine."

wolftamer9:> Again, I'm going to suggest taking the subway out and going to the hospital. If you have the piece of time, you can theoretically go to the Moment whenever you want, right?
